As the costs of climate change and the price of oil both become too high to bear, auto manufacturers will shift more of their vehicle fleets to electric. As it stands, the power grid is already run-down and outdated , built for the electric loads of a century ago, not for modern life. OpenADR can even turn fleet into an asset.
